Plumbing problems are frustrating; repairing them should be as seamless and efficient as possible! One major factor separating an amateur repair person from a professional plumbing repair technician is their toolkit. An experienced plumber will invest in quality, specialized tools that make plumbing repairs easier and more precise.

Your ProFlo technician will arrive with a comprehensive set of plumbing tools to ensure they have what they need to get the job done. Below are some of the most critical elements in any great plumber’s toolbox!

Pipe Wrenches

If you’ve ever tried to loosen a pipe fitting using your regular toolkit, you’ve definitely noticed that your standard wrenches aren’t cut out for the job. Professional plumbers carry special pipe wrenches with serrated jaws to grip and loosen even the tightest of pipes and fittings. These tools are crucial for getting plumbing repairs done efficiently.

Pliers

From pipe leaks to water heater repairs, plumbing often requires a technician to grip small objects or loosen nuts and bolts. A good pair of pliers is essential – and an adjustable pair is even better. For that reason, adjustable tongue-and-groove pliers are one of the most versatile tools your local plumbing expert can keep on hand.

Pipe Cutters

Pipe cutters make the plumbing repair process easier and neater, allowing a plumber to achieve a precise cut. Designed specifically for hard materials like copper, iron and steel, pipe cutters are handy when unclogging a section of your plumbing system.

Plungers

Plungers can be one of the quickest and easiest solutions to clogged drains and toilets. They’re often the first line of defense – your plumbing and HVAC repair technician will likely try plunging before bringing out more tools or chemical ingredients.

Protective Gear 

In addition to wasted time and effort, one of the biggest reasons to avoid DIY plumbing repairs is a lack of proper protective equipment. Your local plumbing repair technician has the safety glasses, gloves, knee pads and other gear needed to stay safe while cutting pipes and working with sewer drainage.
